WSCAD 5.2 - FTP Directory Listing

Creating a symbol
Enter the Pin number under Number: 1, 2, 3, 4. Set the type with the passive,
the Size on 1 and the pin direction of Right. The position of the pins are very close
to the symbol. In order to move the pins to the right you enter '2' for the x-pos.
With the button Place new pins you 're able to place the pins to the position at
the end of the closer contacts.
The cursor will jump automatically to the next pin ready to enter the next
number. You can, however, place the cursor on another pin e.g. when correcting a
mistake. Enter the remaining pin numbers and exit by pressing the right mouse
button or .
The symbol requires a component name to be stored in the library. Select
'Graphics - Symbol Name' and then 'Input' and enter the name e.g. !S2x NC
Switch. The '!'-symbol makes the name invisible on the drawing. Position the
name, remembering that the position is not important, because you cannot see it
on the drawing (in the symbol editor everything is visible).
For automatic numbering the symbol needs a reference name (or symbol). In the
database the reference name of a switch is 'S'. In the 'Graphics' menu select
'Reference Name' and then 'Input' and at the prompt enter '-S'.
Position the reference name left to the symbol. Open the 'Graphics' menu select
'Reference Name' again and set the alignment to 'Right'. During automatic
numbering it will be located automatically. As an exercise change the size of the
name, and reposition it with 'Move' using the commands on the 'Reference'
menu.
Individual symbols are stored in libraries. Components can be stored in any library
you want to. (WSCAD 5 is supplied with several libraries containing many symbols
of different types).
TIP
Select 'Library' on the main menu and the
'Library' menu appears. You either store the
symbol in the current library (refer to the library
name at the lower right part of the screen), or in
your own library created using the 'New library'
command. When you create a new library, enter
the library name without the extension '.BIB', as
the program will create this automatically.
To place the symbol in the library, select 'Save
symbol' and you have to define the reference
point. (Note the information in the status bar).
With the Snap mode on, select Pin number '1'.
When a symbol is placed in a drawing, the reference point of the symbol
corresponds to the cursor location, and the drawing sheet path references
